And once that's done, Nathan does have a question for Spira.  "...so, that Gym training you mentioned...what exactly was that like?  I imagine it's quite a bit different in Sinnoh's Hearthome city than it is here.  Particularly since the current Gym Leader of Hearthome also likes to participate in Super Contests and works that into her training from what I'm aware."

"Well, the Gym Leader himself trained us, a man by the name of 'Daniel', he had us call him 'Mister', the steps of training were in order; Familiarizing ourselves with Ghost Pokemon, their habits and habitat, then after several written tests was the next step, we had to catch a Ghost-type Pokemon to use for the training, I ended up getting a female Banette at Stark Mountain, had to borrow a Drifblim from the Gym leader to get there, though. The final test was free battles between the candidates, but I didn't get that far, because of a slight accident involving the Drifblim and my Banette, I had a falling out with the gym. Besides, some of the other trainers there had gone completely bonkers, as  they didn't have everything it takes to fully master using Ghost-types. Most people that aren't strong-willed enough are driven crazy by the influence that Ghost Pokemon have." When Spira hears 'Super Contest' he raises an eyebrow, "Super Contests? Never heard of those." ((Imma say they weren't widely practiced in Sinnoh for another 30 years after Spira left Sinnoh.))
